Cask & Larder’s Croissant-Doughnut and Peterbrooke Chocolatier of Winter Park’s Doughsant and Pepites
Winner: Peterbrooke Chocolatier of Winter Park
Why: Cask & Larder’s sauce-filled pastry was not completely cooked through towards the middle, you can see a glob of uncooked dough in the upper picture. Of the three orders (2 pastries per order) at our table, each order had uncooked dough resulting in a yeasty sourness. Everyone liked the taste and consistency of the carmel sauce. The Croissant-Doughnuts are currently offered on the Cask & Larder Sunday Brunch menu.
Peterbrooke offered a large and a small version of the pastry, with a variety of different toppings. Fresh fruit toppings (pureed strawberry sauce and a blueberry compote) were a tasty and unexpected surprise. Most importantly, the dough was completely cooked in each one sampled. Toppings and pastries are still in product development- get ready, these tasty pastries will be available very shortly at the Park Avenue chocolate shop.
